Easiest money Ive ever made last night. Once Love was confirmed out, it was all in on Cavs. If he plays game 4, it should come with the second unit. Much more flowing offense and spaced better with better defense last night. Obviously all of that isnt on Love, but some is.

Completely agree. He should come off the bench and he should exclusively play the 5. He simply isn't athletic enough to play anything else against the Warriors.

Tristan Thompson should get 30+ minutes the rest of the series.

Another thought, last year Steph Curry wasn't Finals MVP. This year he is averaging 16 points a game on 43.6% shooting and 5 turnovers a game. Not to mention Draymond Green seems to be the emotional leader of the team. If Curry wants to be considered one of the greatest ever he needs to step up on the biggest stage. Similar to the 2011 Mavs the Warriors are deep and versatile, but there was never any question that Dirk was the number one option and we were only going as far as he was going to take us.

I agree. Curry is a phenomenal player, but he's got a ways to go before he's in that Jordan/Kobe/Lebron stratosphere that so many have put him in already.
